Queen is the nickname that Jose the bartender gives to his prostitute friend who comes in every day to get a free meal in "The Woman Who Came at Six O'Clock." One day, Queen comes in at 6 p.m. and asks Jose to tell anyone who asks that she has been there since 5:45 p.m. He agrees but she will not tell him the reason; she has murdered one of her clients and wants an alibi to give her time to escape to another town.
